Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Glygen MCP ServerGet me the summary of protein Hemoglobin"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Using the MCP server remotely
Assuming you have web based access to AI chat such as Claude - https://claude.ai, use the following steps to connect to the remove GlyGen MCP server (https://mcp.glygen.org/mcp). After you login to https://claude.ai
1. Login to https://claude.ai
2. Go to "Settings" --> "Connectors" --> "Add Custom Connector"
3. Put value "Glygen MCP Server" for the name field
4. Put value "https://mcp.glygen.org/mcp" for serverRelated MCP server: BioMCP
Deploying the MCP server on your linux VM
Create MCP container
Run the following command to create the MCP container
$ python3 create_mcp_container.py -s devCreate service for the container
Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service and place the following content in it.
[Unit]
Description=GlyGen MCP Server Container (dev)
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_glygen_mcp_dev
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_glygen_mcp_dev
[Install]
WantedBy=default.targetThis will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-glygen-mcp-dev.serviceTesting the MCP server
Runn the following commands to test some of the MCP tools
python3 test-endpoint.py -s dev -g protein -n get_protein_summary
python3 test-endpoint.py -s dev -g site -n get_site_summary
python3 test-endpoint.py -s dev -g glycan -n get_glycan_summary
